IL: Officer’s entry was consented to and a suspect fled with officer chasing; when he came back he re-entered, and it was treated as part of initial entry

There was a consensual entry into a room, and a suspect fled. The officer gave chase and returned. Under state case law, that was essentially one continuous entry, and the second re-entry didn’t required a separate consent. Defendant, moreover, didn’t object to the re-entry. People v. Franklin, 2016 IL App (1st) 140049, 2016 Ill. App. LEXIS 568 (Aug. 24, 2016).

A group of youths started a ruckus in an Indianapolis Macy’s at 2 am on Black Friday 2015, one with a gun. It moved to the parking lot and the police had a description of the group. They saw them on the parking lot, and the stop was with reasonable suspicion. In Matter of J.J. v. State, 2016 Ind. App. LEXIS 310 (Aug. 24, 2016).*

Defendant’s stop in a theater lobby when he was sitting alone was without reasonable suspicion, and the gun found on him had to be suppressed. Pinner v. State, 2016 Ind. App. LEXIS 312 (Aug. 24, 2016).*
